So.. I am saying lets just give Yoshi-P the chance to direct FFXVI. I mean if this stops all the comments about letting him direct the next game, so be it. If it ends up being a great game, then as a FF fan, I will love it. Somehow if it ends up being another FFXII, then it is a pass for me. But there are people who love FFXII so there's that.
Similarly if the next game is going to be a more cohesive and narrative focused FFXV with similar mechanics, then I know that I will LOVE it. It doesn't matter who is the director, whether it is Toriyama or Tabata or Yoshi-P. As long as the end game is good and I enjoy it, this is what matters to me.
All this dick waving contest over which is the 'better' director is just useless. Yoshi-P has no experience with directing a big budget SP game. Nomura hasn't delivered a big budget, critically acclaimed game in a long time. Same for Ito, who has yet to release a game on a HD console.
tldr; the current SE is nowhere capable of reaching the heights of FFVI to FFX. Stop dreaming about it people and face the reality. It doesn't mean you stop enjoying their games since they are still good, however they are nowhere critically acclaimed, so what? Embrace the flaws and appreciate what's good in them.
